Garage of Blessings is a regionally renown, roughly 10,000 sq.ft. store where everything is free of charge to anyone that has a need. This includes clothing, kids items, household items, and much more. Garage of Blessings currently serves over 3,500 individuals and takes in an estimated 700 individual loads of donations each month. Everything is organized and run smoothly by a team of volunteers who make sure shopping at the garage is a treat for everyone that comes through the doors. Everything given to the Garage goes back out to those in need. Shoppers range from homeless individuals, to single mothers & fathers, those seeking to start over after escaping abuse, men and women of the U.S. Navy, our neighbors, and those that just can’t afford the expense of something that would take from their already tight budgets. Garage of Blessings is a place where anyone and everyone are welcome. For more information, call 360-679-1239, email garageofblessings@gmail.com, or visit the Garage of Blessings website.
